Abstract :
MAC protocols designed to provide QoS in wireless ad hoc networks need to be able to reserve and control resources efficiently. To this purpose, TDMA-based networks often lie in a frame subdivision that consists of a broadcast control phase and an information phase. In the control phase, each active terminal broadcasts signalling information required to handle the access to the data resources. Analysis and modelling of the broadcast service is carried out, which allows an efficient frame dimensioning in this scenario
